My dream M.P. concerns herself primarily with Civil Liberies, identifying this as the most important duty of a democratic representative, and the most difficult to reconcile with membership of the governing party.  She is female, as there is still dire need for more women in Parliament.  She is also concerned with the fate of displaced persons and with cultural matters.

Although she is capable of 'rebellion', she recognises that she was elected as a Labour member, and that it is through the policies of the Government that the lives of her constituents are made more secure and prosperous.  She does not rebel lightly, but could not in good conscience support the Iraq war, nor strengthening the powers of the Home Office, although she has with reluctance supported I.D. cards.
